Survey Results

 

FCPS administers a systemic survey to students in Grades 3-12, staff, and families each year to obtain stakeholder perceptions regarding their experience in areas such as school climate, academics, teaching experience, safety, well-being and sense of belonging, and communication and engagement. Results from the surveys are used to measure progress towards meeting school and systemic improvements and goals.
